I always learn something new in your newsletters Dr. Barb. Pulling off the road and turning OFF all lights in a dust storm is something I'm not sure I would have considered. I'm familiar with strong winds and blowing desert dust, having driven between California and Tucson many a time. I've never experienced a haboob, but I've had a few close calls with errant tumbleweeds. Thanks for the important public service message.
